In an innovative collaboration designed to nurture the symbiotic relationship between education and local commerce, a pioneering initiative is connecting local community businesses with schools to celebrate and reward student achievements. Through a cutting-edge virtual voucher system, businesses can contribute to an enriching educational environment by offering vouchers as rewards for academic excellence, attendance milestones, or extracurricular successes. This initiative not only motivates students to strive for higher achievement but also fosters a strong sense of community support for educational endeavours. 

Participating in this program provides businesses with the dual benefit of contributing to the development of their local area while gaining recognition as key supporters of education. As these businesses are listed as preferred suppliers, the virtual vouchers spent by students and their families’ direct funds back into the local economy, creating a cycle of mutual benefit. This strategic partnership highlights the community’s commitment to supporting its young learners, ensuring that their achievements are celebrated and that local enterprises thrive alongside them. 

Each school requires financial support from one or more business who sponsor 1 award per week per class worth $10 or more for a term or more. 

The full amount of sponsorship it paid to the school up front. 

Other local businesses that wish to support the program are supplied signs that say, “Dollar Bucks Accepted Here”. 

 Each school has serial numbered tickets produced by an app that can be scanned by the business owners using a QR code on the voucher to verify it is real. 

That can accept it and honour it to its full value with the option of redeeming the value or donate the amount to the school to do as they wish. 

With subtle marketing attached for the local businesses who support the program as well as the increased turnover and added register spend value by the voucher holder it’s a win-win for local business and community. 

Weekly awards will be given to students with 2 weeks to redeem. 

Each voucher should be redeemed to its full value or greater at a participating local business. 

Any purchase sort-fall will be paid to the business by the voucher holder. 

The minimum purchase should be the total of the voucher however it is up to the business accepting the voucher to honour lower valued purchase as NO change for value not spent at the time of purchase should be given.
